We Will Rock You on Broadway — Page 2

mmFan - it's a piece of trash.

the plot is the most innane garbage I've ever witnessed.

a futuristic cyberspace with a "Queen" and rebel uprising?

And if you're still thinking that it's a fun plot, just go see the show. The book is awful, awful, awful. Really just so terrible.

Love the music though!

The Toronto cast performs with such kick-ass energy as to make the show somewhat enjoyable. But there is no getting around the fact that these shows that write a (lame) story around existing pop songs -which were never intended to be part of a story or to develop characters- and little more than cheap, exploitive cash grabs. (I would make an exception for JERSEY BOYS because it tells a truthful and dramatic story. In many ways it is a play with the 4 Seasons songs as decoration.) These jukebox shows are not well written, and geared to audiences who generally do not go to theatre. I always though MAMMA MIA would have been perfect in a dinner theatre. But not on Broadway. Same holds true with WWRY...and with all the popcorn, drinks and other food they allowed in the theatre (Ugh!!!!!) it played like dinner theatre.

That said, Tony Vincent and Hannah Fox's rock performances in the original cast were really out of this world. It's hard to have a discussion of this show without mentioning how extraordinary they are.

Another juke box crap!
